According to Newsweek, multiple open-source intelligence analysts have said the US has deployed air and naval assets off Florida's eastern coast to 'shadow' Russian warships. This comes as Russian warships are expected to arrive in Cuba this week ahead of military drills in the Caribbean.
Open source intelligence (OSINT) analysts on Tuesday posted updates showing the CG Stone coastguard vessel, the USS Truxtun and USS Donald Cook destroyers, and the Royal Canadian Navy frigate HMCS Ville de Quebec travelling southwards down the Florida coast, purportedly following the Russian ships headed to Cuba. Above them, at least one US Navy P-8A Poseidon appeared to be conducting surveillance. -Newsweek
OSINT analysts on X weren't clear which of Russia's four-ship grouping, made up of the Gorshkov frigate, the nuclear-powered submarine Kazan, the fleet oil tanker Pashin, and the rescue tug Nikolai Chiker, were transiting in international waters off the coast of Florida. Still, they posted flight tracking data that showed at least one Boeing P-8 Poseidon circling above.

The Russian warships are expected to arrive in Havana in the coming days and stay through early next week, according to Cuba's Foreign Ministry. This deployment signals Russia's capacity to operate globally while still fully engaged in its third year of war in Ukraine.
"This is about Russia showing they are still capable of some level of naval power projection," a US senior official told McClatchy and the Miami Herald, adding, "We should expect more of this activity going forward."
Meanwhile, Jake Broe, a former US Air Force nuclear and missile operations officer, stated on X on Sunday, "Russians on Kremlin State TV yesterday declared that Mexico was their military ally and they are wanting to place their missiles on Mexican territory so Mexico can attack the United States."
I have no idea why this is not getting mainstream media coverage but the Russians on Kremlin State TV yesterday declared that Mexico was their military ally and they are wanting to place their missiles on Mexican territory so Mexico can attack the United States. This is insane. pic.twitter.com/SU7CdhgDEK

All of this is the result of the Biden administration's weak foreign policy, which has sparked turmoil around the world. Terrible foreign policy decision-making has become a liability for Biden's campaign before the November elections. The majority of Americans don't want World War III.

I think this is meant to distract. I found ZILCH in the Guardian on Russian vessels off the coast of Florida. Community notes are saying it's a nothingburger and nothing untoward.
This is what the UK Guardian, #1 mouthpiece of the Empire had to say on this:
This is what “Community Notes” said to the following comment from Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
"Despite the inaccurate community note below this post, the Pentagon is indeed in a total panic right now over Russia's nuclear-capable submarine fleet, not just surface vessels hovering near the coastline of Florida. Russia's nuclear-capable submarines EACH carry either 16 or 20 nuclear ballistic missiles, and each missile has multiple warheads that can target different cities. The time from launch to impact is mere minutes, 2-3 minutes tops. The USA has literally zero defense against this. All the cities along the East Coast, including Norfolk, NYC, Washington D.C., can be obliterated in under 3 minutes. The Russian subs can surface and launch a ballistic missile every 5 seconds, btw. This is all widely known and documented. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences."
"Russia/Cuban officials informed the US before the ships/subs arrival. Cuba’s own foreign minister stating the “presence is not a threat to the region.” Therefore, there is no “panic” Shadowing adversaries’ ships close to your countries’ waters is common practice"
This is an article from local Florida press
in which they quoted:
Russian ships, submarine pass coast of Florida. Why, and what is the US doing about it?
"The United States did not see the expected arrival of the flotilla to the Western Hemisphere to be threatening, but the official told Reuters the U.S. Navy will monitor the exercises. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details that had not been made public yet."

The escalation of this over the past 6 weeks has been so rapid that the average Western citizen has been left in the dust of ignorance. It will make the shock of active WWIII theatres beyond bioweapon staging and long prepared proxy grounds viz. Ukraine and Palestine much more traumatic to Kiwis when the next steps toward martial law are taken as can be seen in Canada's Hate Law, wisely tossed out, if not buried, in NZ. It is of course possible that we will remain out of the war-loop by and large if trade with Asia is sustained and mega pharma criminals are kept at bay...
